Chapter 248 Open Source! Seize the salt fields!
Wei Dongzhu looked worried and said: "General, Hiroshi Abe is not really going to call someone, is he?"
Shen Lanxi thought for a while and said: "It's a bluff. If he really goes to call someone, he won't come over to say hello in advance!"
Qian Feng: "He just wants to scare us."
Cheng Zheng wrote: "What is the purpose of scaring us?"
Shen Yuanxu: "Let us be afraid!" As long as they are afraid, they will compromise with the Turks and let them take whatever they want.
Liu Yan replied with a more realistic question: "Many people in the city have no food to eat. Some people are kneeling at the door today."
Shen Lanxi muttered: "We will do it the same way as in Dongchuan, using work as a relief!"
Liu Yan replied: "General Sun Zhong came to see me today and asked about how much food we have!"
Wei Dongzhu: "They don't have much food and grass. They eat porridge twice a day, and they can only eat it for ten more days at most!"
Shen Lanxi looked at Liu Yan and replied: "Wait, they have been here for nearly three years, they must have accumulated something."
"Food is also very precious to us. If he can't offer a sincere exchange of equal value, we can only have enough food for ten days and a half!"
Isn’t it just crying about poverty? It’s not that whoever is poor is pitiful, but whoever is poor is justified!
Shen Lanxi knocked on the table to get her men to concentrate.
"It's not enough to just sit back and have nothing, we have to find ways to open up more money!"
None of these people know anything about business.
All replaced speech with silence.
Shen Lanxi: "The three Turkic tribes are arrogant and domineering. They failed to reach peace talks with our Zhenbei Army and even robbed our northwest salt fields. Our Zhenbei Army fought hard, but they had limited manpower and suffered heavy losses!"
Two rows of subordinates: "..." Such a familiar tone.
"Wei Dongzhu, you are familiar with the local terrain, it is up to you to order troops and lead people to reinforce!"
Wei Dongzhu: "Yes!"
Shen Lanxi: "Salt, tea, sugar, and silk are all loved by foreigners. We will never be short of salt in the future."
Everyone suddenly realized: This is what it meant.
"Liu Yan, come back, after our salt fields are recovered, you and Madam Song will be responsible for selling them."
Liu Yan replied: "Yes!"
Shen Lanxi also thought of one thing: "I heard that there is a cemetery of the previous prince in Guangpingzhou?"
Wei Dongzhu looked at her in confusion, yes! Or what he told her.
Shen Lanxi sighed quietly and said: "Now that no one alive has enough to eat, our ancestors don't care anymore. They enjoyed the wealth of the people during their lifetime, and now it's time for them to make a contribution!"
Everyone was stunned and stunned!
Shen Lanxi: "Amitabha, just think of it as cultivating blessings for them in the next life!"
Everyone: "..." Only their general can talk about digging graves in such an upright and high-sounding way.
"Leave this matter to Xiao Fang!"
"Yes!"
Shen Lanxi: "Find some available talents locally as soon as possible. Leave this matter to Sang Guo."
"When we drill in the future, let the soldiers go to the city gate to drill!"
Shen Lanxi ordered the tasks one by one. Time passed and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the eleventh day, Balu sent someone to ask for help.
"General, two days ago the three Turkic tribes raided Oara. They looted countless cattle and sheep, and captured many Oara people as slaves. Many Oara people were displaced and were hunted down by the three tribes!"
Shen Lanxi thought for a while and said: "Qian Feng, bring more people, disguise yourself as Walas and Turks, and bring Balu and the others to Loess City!"
"Yes!"
"If you encounter a Turkic army, abandon the Walas."
Qian Feng understood that the general meant for them to protect themselves.
Everyone around him was sent out under orders, and it was rare to find peace around Shen Lanxi.
Shen Yuanxu and the others went to fight in the salt fields with Wei Dongzhu, and they specifically said hello to Shen Yuanjing when they left. "Yuan Jing, let's go. You need to take good care of your injuries. When we come back, I'll bring you salt-baked chicken!" By the way, the specialty of Yantian should be salt-baked chicken.
Shen Yuanjing tossed and turned all night, and got up the next day with dark circles under his eyes.
He is already well enough, and even if he is not doing well, he can still go and listen to the eldest sister's discussion.
How could Zhou Yunyue be frightened? He, a good man, was frightened out of his wits by Zhou Yunyue.
After thinking about this, Shen Yuanjing went to Shen Lanxi to report his work in regular clothes.
"Big sister~" Shen Yuanjing shouted carefully.
Shen Lanxi: "Okay?"
"Okay, that's almost it. I can't stay in the house anymore."
Shen Lanxi laughed: "Do you have a long memory?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded quickly: "It's grown. It's really grown this time."
Being able to say this means that you have a long memory!
"Go help Cheng Zheng find books on agriculture!"
When Shen Yuanjing heard that he was assigned a task, he immediately became happy.
"Yes, General!"
Shen Lanxi looked at her brother who wanted to jump on the roof, raised her lips and smiled softly.
At the end of the year, Sun Zhong was among the last to leave. Looking at the loess city wall, he felt that the past three years were like a dream!
"I, Shen Lanxi, will practice for General Sun today!" Shen Lanxi raised her voice.
This was her seventh time to bid farewell to the Zhou soldiers and go to Dongchuan. She didn't have to deal with foreigners, and it was equivalent to returning home.
Sun Zhong was filled with emotion, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only bow and clasp his fists.
"Thank you so much, General Shen, for seeing you off for a long journey. We must say goodbye at the end. Please stay here, General Shen!"
The grain and grass carts creaked, and Sun Zhong and his party left the northwest where they had been stationed for three years!
Shen Lanxi stood there and watched them until they could no longer be seen.
Turn around
"Let people in the village sign up!"
"Yes!"
An hour later, busloads of people lined up to enter Loess City!
……
Balu thought for three days, still hesitant. He has been bored in the house, which makes him uncomfortable.
He wanted to take a breath of fresh air on the street, which would allow him to imagine that he was still racing horses and whipping up his whip in the playground of the Walazhong Department.
"Why are there so many people and what are they doing?" Balu was a little surprised to see so many people appearing in Loess City.
This reminded him of the time before the war. At that time, foreign merchants could freely enter and exit nearby cities, which was even more lively than now.
"It's the first time I saw someone who surrendered to the army with his family and his family, and there was a big black pot tied to the car!"
"Look at what the scapegoat is doing, look at those women. Don't tell me, you can't tell they are women because they are wearing men's clothes."
Balu looked at the car after car of women, old men and children, and some gentle people who looked like scholars.
These people look more like they are here to settle down, not like they are here to join the army.
Balu followed them involuntarily, and soon followed them to the camp.
In the main area of the military camp, groups of women were patrolling with spears. Old people and children were helping wash vegetables and light the fire. There were also several grandmothers walking among the crowd, leading newcomers to find tents for accommodation.
This military camp he imagined was completely different!
Balu didn't dare to get too close, so he turned back the same way.
After the carloads of women, old people and children, there were groups of men entering the city.
These men looked like they had seen blood, and they had murderous intent on their bodies.
"Chief, their cotton coats are so thick!"
